Dinner Conversation, Thankfulness & Candyland

Several families I know have been talking about thankfulness. One family is sharing something they are thankful for every day. Another family has a turkey on the wall that they add feathers to each night. Each feather has written on it something that someone is thankful for. I have four kids under six, so I'm not recording anything this year, except what I'm writing here. Our conversation at the dinner table has been very pleasant the past few nights. Everyone that can talk shares what they like about everyone at the table. Caroline is thankful for Daddy's job, and that he goes to work so we can have money for our clothes and food and house. Nathan is thankful for cuddle time with Mommy. Everyone loves Ava's mischievous smile and Nolan's new laugh. So, even though Nathan and Caroline are fighting over who is cheating at Candyland right now, at dinner, I can be thankful that they played Candyland for 30 minutes and only fought once!
